I have been on the fence as to what wheels I should get, those Cray's look outstanding on your car!...someone asked if the bigger tires affect the speedometer...I'm not sure, but I would think a bigger tire over stock would throw it off some...for instance if your speedometer registered 60, you would in actuality being doing 58/59....not real sure of this maybe someone with more knowledge could shed some light on this...

The overall diameter of the wheel and tire are the same as the stock 18's so it does not throw off the speedometer. That is why the profile of the tire is so low in the rear.

Congratulations: Excellent tire width to appropriate wheel width sizing. And, with the overall lowered stance, your C5 Vert is absolutely beautiful! Well done! Enjoy!
